We recently shared this fun project over at Infarrantly Creative. The goal was to come up with a gift idea for under $10. We managed to stay under budget and are very pleased with the outcome.
The Love Notes Box
What You'll Need:
- an unfinished wood box (got ours at Hobby Lobby $4.99 but on sale for 50% off. about $2.50)
- metal handle (from Hobby Lobby too $5.99 used a 40% off coupon. about $3.60)
- spray paint (we used Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze about $3.00)
- the following free downloads...
Download Lovenotes
Download Lovenotescards
Download Lovenotestags - ribbon (from our stash)
- 3" circle punch (or you could trace the top of a cup)
- 3 3/4 " white scalloped circle (cut with the Cricut)
STEP ONE: Gather all of your supplies and print off all the downloads. Cut or punch out the 3" tag and back with the scalloped circle.
STEP SIX: Fill the box with blank love notes cards.
STEP TWO: Spray a few coats of paint on the box.
STEP THREE: Once dry, attach the handle to the top of the box. (We used E6000 glue)
STEP FOUR: Attach the 3" round tag to the front of the box. (We used glue dots)
STEP FIVE: Tie the instructions tag onto the handle with ribbon.STEP FOUR: Attach the 3" round tag to the front of the box. (We used glue dots)
STEP SIX: Fill the box with blank love notes cards.
STEP SEVEN: Make one for yourself. Your family will have so much fun leaving each other random love notes throughout the holidays and every day after.
